✦ AI Summary

ABB announced the launch of Infinitus, a DC solution designed to respond to rising power demand from AI data centers (AIDC).

Infinitus is an integrated DC portfolio that covers the entire range from power source to Rack, and it applies solid-state transformer (SST)-based technology.

ABB aims to reduce the footprint of data center power infrastructure and improve energy efficiency through high-voltage powertrain, DC power and power quality, DC distribution, DC power protection, and cooling optimization.

ABB announced the launch of Infinitus, a DC solution designed to respond to rising power demand from AI data centers (AIDC). Infinitus is an integrated DC portfolio that covers the entire range from power source to Rack, and it applies solid-state transformer (SST)-based technology as a core element. ABB said it developed the solution to address rising power density and expanding computing demand.

Infinitus consists of a total of five core solutions. The high-voltage powertrain handles stable, resilient power supply, while DC power and power quality converts AC to DC and reduces the number of power conversion stages within the white space. DC distribution delivers high power density and stable supply in tight spaces.

DC power protection protects operators and AI equipment from DC overcurrent, and cooling optimization reduces energy consumption by using variable-speed drives and motors. ABB explained that Infinitus is designed to reduce the installation footprint of data center power infrastructure and improve energy efficiency.

ABB said it designs solutions tailored to customers' power demand, facility structure, and energy mix, providing energy efficiency and power supply optimized for each data center environment. ABB said it has combined DC flexibility with existing AC systems to enable a variety of power architectures.

Through this, ABB said it aims to provide the efficiency, reliability, and scalability required by AI data centers and focus on creating a high-density, high-efficiency power supply environment for next-generation AI chips.

Zampiero Fricio, head of ABB's Electrification business, said ABB has led DC technology across various industries for more than 25 years and is working closely with chip manufacturers, hyperscale customers, supply partners, and industry groups. He added that the company is leading efforts to establish standards for and expand the adoption of high-efficiency DC architectures.

He said Infinitus is the first portfolio to provide key components for all data center architectures, from DC-based systems to AC/DC hybrid systems, supporting efficient power delivery for next-generation AI chips. He also said that in the future, similar gains in energy efficiency to those seen in data centers could be expected in power-intensive industries such as large-scale manufacturing, renewable energy, and the marine industry.
